I am in the process of completing a complete custom build of a similar bike, tarting from a very similar collection of parts; it has taken about 40 working days (working about 5 hours a day) and required no significant special skills, quipment, r tools to build (other than typical subtrades of machine shop & painter). In other words, t's not rocket science to turn this into a nice road bike, r even vintage race bike.
